The 50th anniversary of the March on Washington renewed debate about the wealth and income disparity between blacks and whites.

On ABC's Sunday talk show "This Week," George Will sanctimoniously proclaimed that the percentage of African-American children born to unmarried women was 72 percent and "That, and not an absence of rights, is surely the biggest impediment (to income equality)." Mike Gonzalez, Heritage Foundation vice president, wrote in the Washington Post that "The out-of-wedlock birthrate among blacks is now 72 percent. That's the real obstacle to equality."
